i have a set of keystone raider rims (that i thought were cragar SS) i want to put on my 77 short bed. when i tried i notice my studs are too short to put lug nuts on. can i knock these studs out and put longer ones on? or do i have to sell these rims and buy a new set? the inside of the rim says : MADE IN USA 15x7 JJ DOT INTERO 4 3 1992

are the lug nuts going to fit through the rim to the studs? because the studs don't even reach past the rim to get a lug nut on it.

You can knock out the studs and put longer ones in. The way I did it was put a lug nut on and hit it with a 5 pound hammer that would break them loose and to put the new ones in I used an old rim and tightening the lug nuts would make the studs to seat in the holes. Or use a lug nut and a washer to seat them
